[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1522647, member: 24160"] Regarding the rendering of fonts, need to understand the philosophy behind both of the operating systems. One is for reading - Windows One is for print - OS X I prefer Windows myself and took me a year to get use to OS X's font rendering on my computers and can handle it on screens up to 27-32" and it's a non-issue for me now on my notebooks. Still hate reading OS X on my big screen TVs at 1080p. For me, this is the reason OS X really requires a resolution befitting the size of the screen, while Windows can look quite good on lower resolution monitors. Have a read of these 2 articles.
